"Calm As A Lake"
Allow not your will to waiver and break.
Allow not your life to be messy
For the future is at stake...
There are obstacles on your wake,
And they won't make your life easy.
Allow not your will to waiver and break.
In life there are real and there are fake.
Be strong and don't be a sissy.
Your own future is at stake.
We work not only for our sake,
So no matter what, don't be lazy—
Allow not your will to waiver and break
If you can, calm your heart like a lake.
Darkness can make one's heart hazy.
Allow not your will to waiver and break
Remember your future is at stake.
What is a Villanelle?
A villanelle (also known as villanesque) is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines. The villanelle is an example of a fixed verse form. The word derives from Latin, then Italian, and is related to the initial subject of the form being the pastoral.
